C18 Crankshaft 1950314 195-0314 for Caterpillar C-18 Diesel Engine Spare Parts

Product Details

Product Overview

This high-quality replacement crankshaft, identified by part numbers 1950314 and 195-0314, is specifically designed for the Caterpillar C18 and C-18 diesel engine platforms. As a critical rotating component, this crankshaft converts the linear motion of the pistons into rotational torque, directly powering the drivetrain in heavy machinery and industrial equipment.

Manufactured to meet OEM specifications (OEM Size), this component is a direct-fit replacement for Caterpillar engines commonly found in construction, industrial, agricultural, genset, marine, and material handling applications. It is a robust, precision-machined part engineered to withstand the high stresses and demanding cycles of professional-grade diesel engines.

Key Features & Benefits

• OEM Specification Fitment: Manufactured to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) size and tolerances, ensuring a precise and reliable fit for Caterpillar C18 engine models without the need for modifications.
• High-Strength Construction: Built from durable forged steel or ductile iron to handle the high torsional loads and fatigue stresses typical of heavy-duty diesel operation, providing long service life.
• Precision Machining: All journals and fillets are precision ground to exacting standards, ensuring optimal oil clearance and smooth rotation, which reduces friction and wear on main and connecting rod bearings.
• Rigorous Quality Control: Each crankshaft undergoes a comprehensive machinery test report and video outgoing inspection to verify dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and balance before shipment.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide range of equipment including excavators, bulldozers, generators, marine propulsion systems, and agricultural tractors powered by the C18 engine.
• Secure Packaging: Packed in a multi-layer system including a plastic bag, box, and carton to protect the precision surfaces from damage during international transit.

FAQ

Q1: How do I confirm this crankshaft fits my Caterpillar C18 engine?
A: While this part is designed for the C18 and C-18 engine families, we strongly recommend verifying your existing crankshaft part number (1950314 or 195-0314) against the part being removed. Additionally, check your engine’s serial number prefix to ensure it falls within the range for which this crankshaft was originally specified. If you are unsure, please contact us with your engine serial number for cross-referencing.

Q2: What maintenance is required during installation?
A: Professional installation by a qualified diesel mechanic is essential. Key steps include: carefully cleaning the block and main bearing bores, applying proper assembly lube to all journals and thrust faces, torquing main bearing caps to the factory specification in the correct sequence, and checking crankshaft end-play. It is also highly recommended to replace main and rod bearings, as well as the rear main seal, at the time of crankshaft replacement.

Q3: Does this crankshaft come with a counterweight assembly or gear?
A: This listing is for the crankshaft only. It does not include the flywheel, vibration damper, timing gear, or counterweights. These components must be transferred from your old crankshaft or purchased separately. Ensure all transferred components are in good condition and properly timed during reassembly.
